Abstract

An authoring system variously processes a bitstream carrying information about moving picture data, audio data, and subpicture data constituting titles having a sequence of related content, generates a bitstream constituting a title with content corresponding to a user selection, efficiently records the generated bitstream to a specific recording medium, and reproduces title content corresponding to a user selection from the bitstream thus generated. Editing content input by a user using a keyboard or other device for the multimedia bitstream content is the source data is converted to authoring encoding parameters. Whether certain conditions determined by the data structure and other considerations of the authoring system are met is determined, and if the conditions are not satisfied, feedback is given to the user to prompt re-entry of the editing information.
